Activision Seeks To Seize ModernWarfare3.com

Activision Seeks To Seize ModernWarfare3.com

None

Without going yourself to check it out, what sort of content do you think is hosted on ModernWarfare3.com? If you said “trailers for Modern Warfare 3” or anything similar, you are dead wrong.

ModernWarfare3.com was created around the time Modern Warfare 2 came out as an anti-Call of Duty site. It was registered anonymously through a proxy, so the mastermind behind it could be safe from Activision’s law team. Well, Activision isn’t going to give up there. It has filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum against the site’s content, and is seeking to transfer the registration for the Domain Name over to it. Since the site was registered through proxy, the complaint is against the proxy registry itself.



Last week, ModernWarfare3.com started redirecting people to EA’s Battlefield 3 website. At the time, people thought that this was a move by EA marketing to pull the rug out from under Activision. EA quickly denied this. In the end, this is just the work of some Call of Duty hater that is getting his jollies on Activision’s behalf. On one hand, the site is blatant libel, but on the other hand, the random Monty Python Modern Warfare remixes the site posts are kind of funny.
